Definitions
- This invention generally relates to communications, e.g., wireless communications, and more specifically to coordinating gating of an uplink (UL) control channel with UL reporting in regard to a downlink channel.
- UL uplink
- a signal on a high speed dedicated physical control channel can be transmitted.
- the HS-DPCCH signal typically carries 2 slots with channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting information and 1 slot with ACK/NACK information for the HSDPA (high speed download packet access).
- CQI transmission is typically periodic and normally independent of the high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) transmission activity.
- CQI reporting period can be controlled by a radio network controller (RNC) with possible values of 0, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 ms.
- RNC radio network controller
- E-DCH enhanced dedicated channel
- E-DPDCH enhanced dedicated physical data channel
- E- DPCCH enhanced dedicated physical control channel
- a continuous dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) and possibly a continuous or discontinuous dedicated physical control channel (e.g., an uplink high speed dedicated physical control channel, HS-DPCCH) for the HS-DSCH are transmitted.
- DPCCH continuous dedicated physical control channel
- HS-DPCCH uplink high speed dedicated physical control channel
- a packet service session contains one or several packet calls depending on the application as described in ETSI standard, TR 101 112, UMTS 30.03 "Selection procedures for the choice of radio transmission technologies of the UMTS", version 3.2.0.
- the packet service session can be considered as an NRT (non-real time) radio access bearer duration and the packet call as an active period of packet data transmission.
- NRT non-real time
- the packet call as an active period of packet data transmission.
- several packets may be generated, which means that the packet call constitutes of a bursty sequence of packets.
- the burstiness is a characteristic feature of the packet transmission.
- the arrival of session set-ups to the network can be modeled as a Poisson process. Reading time starts when the last packet of the packet call is completely received by the user and ends when the user makes a request for the next packet call.
- the HS-DSCH transmission in the downlink and E-DCH transmission in the uplink are discontinuous during the reading time (most of the reading time there is no HS- DSCH or E-DCH transmission). Note, that depending on the packet arrival intervals (among other things), there could be gaps in the E-DCH and HS-DSCH transmissions during a packet call but the E-DCH and HS-DSCH transmissions might also be continuous during the packet call. Thus, there can be some inactivity on the E-DCH also during a packet call.
- a grant is needed: a non-scheduled grant for non- scheduled MAC-d (MAC stands for medium access control) flows and a serving grant (and allowed active hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process) for a scheduled transmission.
- MAC medium access control
- HARQ active hybrid automatic repeat request
- a Node B controls when a user equipment (UE) is allowed to send and thus Node B knows when the UE may send data.
- the network can allow a maximum number of bits that can be included in a MAC-e PDU (protocol data unit) for the given MAC-d flows.
- each non-scheduled grant is applicable for a specific set of HARQ processes indicated by an RRC (radio resource control), and RRC can also restrict the set of HARQ processes for which scheduled grants are applicable.
- RRC radio resource control
- the UL DPCCH carries control information generated at layer 1 (physical layer).
- the layer 1 control information consists of, e.g., known pilot bits to support channel estimation for coherent detection, transmit power control (TPC) for DL DPCH (dedicated physical channel), optional feedback information (FBI) and optional transport format combination indicator (TFCI).
- TPC transmit power control
- FBI feedback information
- TFCI transport format combination indicator
- the UL DPCCH is continuously transmitted (even if there is no data to be transmitted for certain time periods), and there is one UL DPCCH for each radio link.
- the continuous transmission is not a problem with circuit switched services, which are typically sent continuously. However, for bursty packet services, continuous DPCCH transmission causes a significant overhead.
- DPCCH transmission is required whenever the E-DPDCH 3 E-DPCCH or HS-DPCCH is transmitted in the uplink. Without simultaneously transmitted DPCCH, the reception of the E-DPDCH, E-DPCCH or HS-DPCCH is not possible (there are no pilot bits for channel estimation on other channels).
- the uplink capacity can be increased by decreasing a control overhead.
- One possibility for decreasing the control overhead is UL DPCCH gating (or discontinuous transmission), i.e., not transmitting signals on the DPCCH all the time. Rationale for using gating includes (but is not limited to):

- a new method, system, apparatus and software product are presented for coordinating gating of an uplink (UL) control channel, e.g., a dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH), with UL reporting in regard to a downlink channel, e.g., high speed uplink packet access (HSDPA) channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting, for increasing capacity of HSUPA of communications, e.g., wireless communications.
- UL uplink

- CQI channel quality indicator
- scheduling a report signal comprising reporting information (e.g., CQI reporting) on a downlink channel and a discontinuous control signal (e.g., a DPCCH signal) for an uplink control channel (e.g., DPCCH) can be performed by coordinating a timing relationship between the report signal and the discontinuous control signal using a predetermined criterion.
- the CQI reporting timing and gated UL control channel transmission timing could be tied to each other.
- the CQI transmission rate could be tied to an HS- DSCH transmission activity and the DPCCH transmission rate could be tied to E- DCH transmission activity using a predefined algorithm discussed below in detail.
- scheduling of the UL control channel such as dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) can be performed in coordination with a rate of the CQI reporting using a predetermined criterion.
- DPCCH dedicated physical control channel
- the CQI reporting and DPCCH transmission time instants can be defined to be the same, when the lowest CQI reporting rate can be applied.
- the CQI reporting (and ACK/NACK transmission) on the HS-DPCCH is more frequent and the DPCCH must be anyway transmitted, whenever HS-DPCCH is transmitted. Consequently, the transmission rates might not need to be the same for the CQI reporting and the gated DPCCH transmission.
- the CQI reporting time and rate could be tied to the DPCCH transmission times, if the DPCCH transmission is gated. Then the gating gain could be maximized.
- the CQI reporting can depend on the HS-DSCH transmission activity, e.g., a higher rate of the CQI reporting when the HS-DSCH transmission is present, and a lower rate when the HS-DSCH is inactive.
- the periodic CQI reporting can be dynamic, i.e., the period could become longer during a longer downlink data transmission (e.g., HS-DSCH) inactivity.
- the start of an additional CQI reporting after a long inactivity could be controlled with a low bit rate HS-DSCH transmission even if no recent CQI report is available.
- a DPCCH gating pattern can be applied, e.g., a DPCCH gating period (or a gating period in general) can be constant and equal to a minimum period of a CQI reporting signal.
- the DPCCH gating period can be constant and equal to a minimum period of a CQI reporting signal but excluded in time slots immediately following (or preselected number of slots after) the CQI reporting signal.
- the dynamic CQI period can be either an average, a minimum or maximum allowed CQI period in a randomized UL transmission pattern, if randomization is needed, e.g., due to EMC (electro-magnetic compatibility) problems.
- the start of additional CQI reporting after a long inactivity could be controlled with a low bit rate HS-DSCH transmission even if no recent CQI reporting is available.
- a static (with a constant rate) DPCCH gating pattern it can be defined that DPCCH transmissions right after (or x slots after) E-DCH or HS-DPCCH transmission could be ignored (at least in the single cell case). This is especially true if (non-periodic) ACK/NAK is transmitted on the HS-DPCCH.
- the coordination of the DPCCH and CQI transmission patterns could be RNC controlled.
- RNC would define coordinated patterns (timings and rates) for the DPCCH and CQI transmissions.
- the CQI reporting pattern e.g., the timing and/or rate
- the DPCCH gating would be activated, the CQI reporting pattern (e.g., the timing and/or rate) would be redefined according to the desired DPCCH gating pattern (e.g., the timing and/or rate) or the DPCCH gating pattern (e.g., the timing and/or rate) would be defined according to the existing CQI reporting pattern (e.g., timing and/or rate).
- the basic (initial) patterns could e.g., be defined to be the same (overlapping DPCCH and CQI transmissions), and the rules for dynamic behavior depending on the activity in the uplink or downlink such that the patterns would be coordinated even if the rates would depend on different activities (e.g., the CQI rate could depend on the DL data transmission activity and the DPCCH rate could depend on the UL data transmission activity). And if, e.g., the DPCCH transmission would be randomized and the CQI transmission not, the DPCCH and CQI patterns could be defined so, that the DPCCH and CQI transmissions overlap as much as possible.
- the coordination of the DPCCH and CQI transmission (/gating) patterns could be done autonomously at the UE according to predefined rules.
- the CQI transmission could be autonomously delayed (or advanced) to overlap with the closest DPCCH transmission, which is done according to the DPCCH gating pattern or due to the E- DCH transmission, if the delay (advance) would be at most x milliseconds (/sub- frames/slots).
- all embodiments of the present invention described above for the uplink control channel can be applied to any Ll control channel in the UL (carrying, e.g., pilot and/or power control information) used for, e.g., channel estimation and power control.
- scheduling the discontinuous control signal can be performed by a user equipment or by a network element, according to embodiments of the present invention.
- various embodiments of the present invention recited herein can be used separately, combined or selectively combined for specific applications.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of ari example among others which demonstrates coordinating uplink (UL) dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) gating with HSDPA (high speed uplink packet access) channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- a user equipment 10 comprises an uplink scheduling and signal generating module 12 and a transmitter/receiver/processing module 14. Steps performed by the user equipment 10 related to the DPCCH gating can be coordinated and originated by the module 12.
- the user equipment 10 can be a wireless device, a portable device, a mobile communication device, a mobile phone, etc.
- a network element 16 e.g., a node B or a radio network controller, RNC
- RNC radio network controller
- the block 12 (the same is applicable to the block 20) can be implemented as a software or a hardware block or a combination thereof. Furthermore, the block 12 can be implemented as a separate block or can be combined with any other standard block of the user equipment 10 or it can be split into several blocks according to their functionality.
- the transmitter/receiver/processing block 14 can be implemented in a plurality of ways and typically can include a transmitter, a receiver, a CPU (central processing unit), etc.
- the module 14 provides an effective communication of the module 12 with the network element 16 as described below in detail. All or selected modules of the user equipment 10 can be implemented using an integrated circuit, and all or selected blocks and/or modules of the network element 16 can be implemented using an integrated circuit as well.
- a downlink (DL) data signal 34a (e.g., HS-DSCH) is transmitted by the transmitter block 18 of the network element 16 to the transmitter/receiver/processing module 14 of the user equipment 10 and then forwarded (signal 36) to the module uplink scheduling and signal generating module 12.
- the module 12 provides a data/reporting/control signal 30, according to embodiments of the present invention, which are then forwarded (signals 32a, 32b and 32c) to the receiver block 22 of the network element 16.
- the module 12 provides a data signal (e.g., an E- DCH signal 32a) and a report signal (e.g., an HS-DPCCH signal 32b) containing channel quality indicator (CQI) and/or acknowledgement (ACK) reporting feedback information for a downlink channel (e.g., the received data HS-DSCH signal 36).
- a data signal e.g., an E- DCH signal 32a
- a report signal e.g., an HS-DPCCH signal 32b
- CQI channel quality indicator
- ACK acknowledgement
- the module 12 schedules a DPCCH signal for an uplink (UL) dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) gated in coordination with (or depending on the timing of) said CQI reporting information, e.g., contained in the HS-DPCCH signal 32b using a predetermined criterion and optionally in coordination with (or depending on) data transmitted on an uplink data channel, e.g., the enhanced dedicated channel (the E- DCH signal 32a) using a further predetermined criterion.
- the network element 16 can use (optionally) the received HS-DPCCH signal 32b for scheduling and providing a downlink data HS-DSCH signal 34.
- Figure 1 further demonstrates (see signals 35, 35a and 35b) an embodiment wherein the scheduling of the DPCCH signal is performed by the network element 16 (e.g., by the block 20), according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the signals 35, 35a and 35b are optional.
- the network element 16 for the purposes of understanding of various embodiments of the present invention, can be broadly interpreted such that the network element 16 can comprise features attributed to both the Node B and the radio network controller (RNC).
- the module 20 can be located in the RNC (then the signaling from the RNC is forwarded to the user equipment by the Node B) or in the Node B, whereas the block 22 is located in the Node B.
- Figure 2 shows one example among others of a diagram demonstrating DPCCH gating patterns or equivalently discontinuous DPCCH transmission patterns, according to embodiments of the present invention.
- the HS-DPCCH transmission simultaneously with the E-DCH transmission is optional.
- a packet sequence 40 shows the HS-SCCH (high speed shared control channel for HS-DSCH) signal illustrating DL activity (the HS-DSCH signal is not shown).
- transmission of the HS- DPCCH is not necessarily time aligned with the transmissions of other uplink channels, i.e., HS-DPCCH slot boundaries are not the same as the slot boundaries for DPCCH, E-DPDCH and E-DPCCH.
- saying that the DPCCH is transmitted always when HS-DPCCH is transmitted requires some further definition: this means that some DPCCH slots are always transmitted together with the HS-DPCCH slots. For instance, if two CQI slots are transmitted, the DPCCH could be transmitted during all three slots that overlap with the CQI slots or only the two first DPCCH slots that overlap with CQI slots could be transmitted.
- Packet sequences 42 and 44 correspond to a dynamic CQI period with a minimum or initial value (e.g., 10ms) and a maximum value (e.g., 40ms) between time slots containing CQI reporting information (e.g., transmitted on the HS- DPCCH), wherein the CQI reporting period is doubled (or changed by a preselected value) after every 2 periods (or after a preselected number of periods) of DL inactivity (which can be ascertained from the packet sequence 40).
- the CQI reporting period between signals in time slots 42a and 42b, and 42b and 42c is doubled and the CQI reporting period between signals in time slots 42c and 42d is further doubled, since the downlink transmission inactivity continues.
- the DPCCH gating period is constant (10ms) such that the DPCCH signals 42e are added between the time slots 42a, 42b, 42c and 42d, respectively.
- the DPCCH transmission follows exactly the CQI transmission and there are no additional DPCCH signals added. This could be, e.g., due to a longer DPCCH gating period than a CQI reporting period.
- Packet sequences 46 and 48 correspond to the dynamic CQI period with the minimum or initial value (e.g., 10ms) and the maximum value (e.g., 40ms) between the time slots containing the CQI reporting information (transmitted in the HS-
- the CQI reporting period is switched from the minimum (10ms) to the maximum 40 ms during periods of the DL inactivity (which can be ascertained from the packet sequence 40). For example, the CQI reporting period between signals in time slots 46a and 46b, and 46b and 46c is switched to the maximum 40 ms from its initial value of 10ms.
- the DPCCH gating period is constant (10 ms) such that the DPCCH signals 46e are added between the time slots 46a, 46b and 46c, respectively.
- the DPCCH transmission follows exactly the CQI transmission and there are no additional DPCCH signals added. This could be, e.g., due to a longer DPCCH gating period than the CQI reporting period.
- the network element 16 can be aware (or informed) with rules for determining the DPCCH gating period by the user equipment 10, which may partly eliminate the need for a continuous DTX (discontinuous transmission) detection by the network element 16.
- Figure 3 shows another example among others of a diagram demonstrating the DPCCH gating patterns, according to embodiments of the present invention.
- the HS-DPCCH transmission simultaneously with the E-DCH transmission is optional.
- Packet sequence 50 shows the HS-SCCH (high speed shared control channel for HS-DSCH) signal illustrating DL activity (the HS-DSCH signal is not shown).
- packet sequences 52 and 54 correspond to the dynamic CQI period with the minimum or initial value (e.g., 10ms) and the maximum value (e.g., 40ms) between time slots containing CQI reporting information (e.g., transmitted on the HS- DPCCH), wherein the CQI reporting period is doubled (or changed by a preselected value) after every 2 periods (or after a preselected number of periods) of DL inactivity (which can be ascertained from the packet sequence 50).
- the packet sequence 52 is identical to the packet sequence 42 such that DPCCH signals 52a-52e are added to preserve constant DPCCH gating period. Similar addition of the DPCCH signals is implemented in the packet sequence 54 which differs the packet sequence 54 from the packet sequence 44.
- Packet sequences 56 and 58 correspond to the dynamic CQI period with the minimum or initial value (e.g., 10ms) and the maximum value (e.g., 40ms) between the time slots containing the CQI reporting information (transmitted in the HS- DPCCH), wherein the CQI reporting period is switched from the minimum (10ms) to the maximum 40 ms during periods of the DL inactivity (which can be ascertained from the packet sequence 50).
- the packet sequence 56 is identical to the packet sequence 46 such that DPCCH signals 56a-56f are added to preserve constant
- DPCCH gating period Similar addition of the DPCCH signals is implemented in the packet sequence 58 which differs the packet sequence 58 from the packet sequence 48.
- FIG. 4 shows yet another example among others of a diagram demonstrating the DPCCH gating patterns with a special rule (explained below), according to embodiments of the present invention.
- the HS-DPCCH transmission simultaneously with the E-DCH transmission is optional.
- a packet sequence 60 shows HS-SCCH (high speed shared control channel for HS-DSCH) signal in the DL illustrating DL activity (the HS-DSCH signal is not shown).
- Packet sequences 64 and 68 are identical to the packet sequences 54 and 58 (see Figure 3), respectively.
- the difference between packet sequences 62 and 52, and between 66 and 56 is due to a special rule: the DPCCH signal is excluded in a time slot immediately following (or preselected number of time slots after) said report signal (HS-DPCCH) containing the CQI reporting information and/or acknowledgement (ACK/NAK) for the HS-DSCH transmission or the E-DCH transmission.
- the time slot 62b following the time slot 62a containing the E-DCH signal does not contain the DPCCH signal.
- Figure 5 is an example of a flow chart illustrating coordination of the uplink (UL) dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) gating with the HSDPA (high speed uplink packet access) channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the flow chart of Figure 5 only represents one possible scenario among others.
- the order of steps shown in Figure 5 is not absolutely required, so generally, the various steps can be performed out of order.
- the user equipment 10 receives the data signal (e.g., the HS-DSCH signal 34a) from the network element (Node B or RNC) 16.
- the data signal e.g., the HS-DSCH signal 34a
- the user equipment 10 provides the report signal (e.g., the HS-DPCCH signal 32b) containing the channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting information regarding the downlink channel and/or the acknowledgement and the UL data signal (e.g., the E-DCH signal 32a) to the receiver block 22 of the network element 16.
- the report signal e.g., the HS-DPCCH signal 32b
- CQI channel quality indicator
- the UL data signal e.g., the E-DCH signal 32a
- the user equipment 10 schedules the control signals (e.g., the DPCCH signal) by coordinating with the rate of reporting the CQI reporting information (or more generally by coordinating with the transmission of HS-DPCCH) using the predetermined criterion and optionally by coordinating with the rate or transmission of the data signal (E-DCH) using the further predetermined criterion.
- the control signal e.g., the DPCCH signal 32c
- the transmission of the DPCCH should be coordinated with the transmission of HS-DPCCH including either the CQI or the ACK/NAK or both.
- the transmissions should be coordinated, i.e., not to transmit DPCCH only unnecessarily if HS-DPCCH (together with the DPCCH) is transmitted shortly before or after that moment anyway.
- CQI HS-DPCCH
- DPCCH gating have periodicity of 10 ms, the DPCCH should be transmitted only together with the HS-DPCCH.
- the invention provides both a method and corresponding equipment consisting of various modules providing the functionality for performing the steps of the method.
- the modules may be implemented as hardware, or may be implemented as software or firmware for execution by a computer processor.
- firmware or software the invention can be provided as a computer program product including a computer readable storage structure embodying computer program code (i.e., the software or firmware) thereon for execution by the computer processor.
